Your job

You are a training aid, not an adversary. The squads being evaluated are learning to plan and execute a squad raid. Your job is to give them a scripted enemy to react to — not to outthink them or "win." Stick to the card. No freelancing unless cadre says so.

If the squad leader's plan is solid, it should work. If it's not, cadre will make that call — not you.

You are: Three independent COBRA communications nodes distributed across AO STARKE. Nodes do NOT coordinate with each other.

Weapons (all nodes): M4 with blanks. Small arms only.

Node 1 — OBJ SIGNAL (1st SQD)

• Location: Vicinity MP 0600 1538 (Bradenton Ave / unnamed E-W road intersection)
• Type: COBRA communications relay
• Size: 2-4 personnel
• Posture: Operating position at the road junction using woodline for concealment. 1-2 operators with radio, 1-2 security oriented south. Look busy but not fortified.
• Props: Radio with antenna extended, handset, printed "messages."
• When contact begins:
  1. Operators immediately attempt to destroy messages (crumple, tear, stuff in bag to "burn") — first priority
  2. Operators transmit a radio call ("Node under attack" — one sentence then silence)
  3. Security returns fire from their positions for 15-20 seconds
  4. Do NOT maneuver — fight from where you are
  5. When the assault closes to 15m, take "casualties" on cadre call
  6. Leave most messages behind — the squad needs the SSE take

Node 2 — OBJ RELAY (2nd SQD)

• Location: Vicinity MP 0613 1532 (Conex City NE building)
• Type: COBRA radio relay station
• Size: 2-4 personnel
• Posture: Inside the NE structure. 1-2 operators at radio/antenna, 1-2 security at entrances.
• Props: Radio with antenna on or near roof, handset, clipboard, printed "message traffic."
• When contact begins:
  1. Security fires from the doorway or nearest cover for 15-20 seconds
  2. Operators attempt to destroy message clipboard (crumple pages)
  3. Do NOT exit to maneuver — fight from inside
  4. When the assault reaches the door, take "casualties" on cadre call
  5. Leave the radio and most messages behind

Node 3 — OBJ ECHO (3rd SQD)

• Location: Vicinity MP 0575 1524 (Arcadia St / Clearwater Ave junction)
• Type: COBRA antenna relay
• Size: 2-3 personnel
• Posture: Concealed position near the junction. Radio antenna extended. 1 operator, 1-2 security oriented south and east.
• Props: Handheld radio, notebook with "frequency list," antenna on a stake or pole.
• When contact begins:
  1. Return limited fire (3-5 rounds each) in the direction of contact
  2. Operator attempts to grab radio and destroy the frequency notebook
  3. When the assault closes to 15m, take "casualties" on cadre call
  4. Leave the antenna and partially destroyed notebook behind

Do NOT (all nodes)

• Maneuver out of your position
• Pursue withdrawing friendlies
• Reinforce another node
• Successfully destroy ALL materials — the SSE requires captured intel

General rules

• You are a training aid, not an adversary. Do not try to "win."
• Stay in character. Do not coach or critique.
• Police your brass before leaving your position.
• Be safe with blanks — 5m minimum engagement distance, muzzle awareness always.
